TON OF RUTTER
A& MINUTE.
The
butter
industry
of
the
United
States
is
so large that
more
than
a
ton
of
burter
was
made
for
every
minute
day and
night,
last year,
according
to
the dairy specialists
of the Unitec States
Depar:ment
of
Agricuiture.
Yet
even
this
enormous
pro
uction
<carcely
meets
domestic
needs.
-
The output
of factory
butter
has
in-
creas<d
approximately 200,000,000 pounds
each
10 years
since
1880.
Farm
butter-
making reached
its maximum
production
about
1900.
The
present
trend
Indicates
that it will become
a less
and less
impor-
tant {actor
in the nation’s
butter supply,
being
superseded
by
the factory produet.
Produetion
of the
factory
butter
in
the
United States
shows
a
more
rapid
gen-
eral upward
trend
than
is
observed
in
any foreign countly
from which
depend-
able butter figures
have
been
obtained.
The number
of such
countries,
however,
is relatively small.
Production
of
rero-
vated buter
in the United
States
is
de-
clinlng. This condition
evidently
results
from
reduced
supplies
of
low-quality
farm butter,
the chief produet
from which
renovated
butter
is
made.— Everyday
Lase.
TRAINS
WITHOUT WBEELS.
The
time may
soon
come
when
we shall
all be travelling 10 and from
our work
in
trains
without
wheels.
This
may
seem
a rather startling
prephecy,
but
the idea
is
by
no
mecans
new,
and
the
present
. troubles
of railway transport
have forced
it to the front
as
a
ponssib:e
solution
of
our
difficulties
But thow
can
a
train
p ssibly
travel
without wheels?--one
will naturaily
ask.
The answer
is quite
simzie.
The
reader
has
doubtless
often
noticed
that
when
two pieces
of wet glass
are placed togeth-
er
thev
slip
about
and glide
over
each
other with perfect
ease.
This
is explained by the
f-¢&t
that
the:
two pieces
of glass
are
not really
touch-
ing each
other,
but
are
separated
by
a
thin film of water,
on which thev glide or
float withourt
the
least
{riction.
Direectly
the
water
is ail squeezed
out,
the
pieces-
of glass stick together
and
are
not
easily
moved.
This
is the underlying
principle of
the
wherl-less
train.
A
French
envineer
has invented
a method
of
veplacine
the
wheels
by
means
of hyvdraulic skatss
or
shoes
which
glides
over
flat
r ils,
and
between
the
skates
and
Ihe rails
a
film
of water
under
pressure
is
interposed
As
the
water
escapes.
it
is
recovered
again
by suction,
and
passes
back
into
the
water
reservoir,
The train really slides
aiong
on
s
film
of water
and
magnets
are
used
as
g
means
of propulsion.
Since
there
is
po
friction in this method.
a speed
of a
Lun-
dred
miles
an hour
or
more
can
be
ob-
tained
without
much
effort.
[Furthermore
nc¢
brakes
are
required,
for by shuttine
off the
water
upply
the
tr in immediately
comes
to a standstill.
